Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's oratory skill as "impressive" but one that's also a weakness due to a "disconnect between the oratory and implementation."
Mr Tharoor's comments on PM Modi came while he was discussing the Congress President election, what he would do if elected, and the challenges ahead, which brought PM Modi into the discussion since the BJP is the Congress's biggest rival.
"I think his (PM Modi's) oratory is absolutely compelling and impressive. He is probably the finest speaker in Hindi that our country has seen, even though one would argue that [Atal Bihari] Vajpayee had that reputation, one could say Mr Modi is more effective. He is more theatrical and more effective," Mr Tharoor, who filed his papers today for the Congress President election, told NDTV.
